Using -Fe instead of -o avoids the warning and should be OK with older
versions too (the MSVS 2008 docs list -Fe).

Subject: [PATCH] Use -Fe with MSVC to specify DLL output filename

This avoids a deprecation warning with current versions of MSVC, and
is documented as supported at least as far back as MSVS 2008.

* m4/libtool.m4: Use -Fe instead of -o to specify DLL output filename
for MSVC.
